It was the first time for An Jiu to see so many women.
When she followed the emperor in, she felt dizzy and dazzled, and her eyes were dazzled by the flowers. She looked around...
The beautiful concubines dressed in colorful and gorgeous clothes all bowed and greeted each other.
The emperor raised his hand and said, "Everyone, get up."
After saying that, he strode to the main seat and sat down.
The emperor sat down, and no one else dared to stand up and return to their seats. The atmosphere was strangely quiet. Although the concubines had been thinking about the emperor day and night, when they really saw him, they dared not even look at the emperor's face.
After all, it's really familiar...
They were all women from the world's great families. In the past, apart from their fathers and brothers, they rarely saw other men in their families. Now, facing the strange emperor, even if it was just a strange man, they felt more at ease.
Concubine De and Concubine Shu sat on both sides of the emperor. Concubine De was steady while Concubine Shu was lively, and she spoke first.
"Finally, we can have some fun together today."
Defei sneered in her heart. She felt that Shufei was unworthy of being born in a military family. She was just vulgar and would pounce on men as soon as she saw them.
The emperor had no expression on his face and was just waiting for dinner to start.
[Again, Dai Tou E is the only one who can cook, and Zhang An has been doing very well recently. 】
While he praised Zhang An, he also forgot to step on An Jiu.
An Jiu glanced sideways, rolling his eyes in his heart.
Seeing that Concubine Shu was about to lose the conversation, the concubines around her started talking one after another, but no one at Concubine De's table said anything.
An Jiu suddenly understood.
The harem was divided into factions. Some followed Concubine Shu, and some followed Concubine De.
However, Defei and Shufei were definitely not satisfied with their current positions, and they were competing with each other.
Defei asked the emperor in a proper manner if he wanted to serve the dishes, and the emperor agreed.
The dishes from the imperial kitchen are here, including braised shark's fin, birds paying homage to the phoenix, braised duck, dragon and phoenix, jade tofu, bird's nest with rock sugar, etc...
An Jiu opened his eyes wide.
There are so many delicious foods at the banquet. The last welcome banquet for Prince Ruyang was very ordinary.
She glanced at the poor emperor, so what kind of life did the emperor live in the past?
Could it be that while everyone in the harem eats delicious food, the emperor only eats vegetarian porridge every day?
Thinking about it this way, Qin Bao really deserves to die!
However, even though so many delicious dishes were on the table, few of the concubines in the harem picked up their chopsticks. They all sat there dignified and elegantly, with only Concubine Shu occasionally coming to liven up the atmosphere.
An Jiu saw that they were just sitting there doing nothing and didn't dare to chat. The food in front of them was delicious, but they didn't dare to eat it at all for fear of losing their manners in front of the emperor.
Therefore, no matter how delicious the food is, it is just for appearance when it is put on the table.
"The sisters have prepared gifts for your majesty, and several younger sisters have prepared songs and dances..." As Defei spoke, she moved closer to the emperor. The emperor felt a little uncomfortable, but did not avoid her. After listening to Concubine De's words, he nodded.
[Please make some noise. I am not familiar with these people in the harem. It is so embarrassing. 】
An Jiu wanted to laugh. It turned out that the emperor would think like this.
Soon, the musicians from the palace arrived, the sound of stringed and wind instruments rang out, and the dancers floated in with light footsteps, like butterflies in summer.
The beauty in the lead had her face covered with a veil. She looked familiar, but An Jiu couldn't recognize her at first. She must be one of the emperor's concubines.
With the singing and dancing, everyone relaxed a little. Some concubines whispered to each other and even shyly glanced at the emperor.
Some concubines were obviously very young and had no interest in the emperor or the food on the table. However, they had no nerve to eat while others did not, and could only sit in their seats and swallow their saliva.
As for Consort De, she sat very dignified, while Consort Shu made more small movements, pouring a glass of wine for the emperor, and then pretending to touch the emperor accidentally.
[It’s really annoying~]
[Is it over yet?] 】
[I am going to be angry!] 】
Concubine Shu wanted to peel shrimp for the emperor, but the emperor frowned and said, "You are not good enough."
He winked at Anjiu, who was watching the singing and dancing, and didn't want to be stained by the greasy food while peeling shrimp for him.
She walked over and started to peel shrimps for the emperor with Concubine Shu's murderous look in her eyes.
"Your Majesty is so considerate of me." Concubine Shu is very good at finding a way out.
The emperor said nothing. He just watched the singing and dancing and then glanced at the shrimps in the bowl.
Concubine Shu turned her head.
snort!
놊Look at beauties and shrimps?
I see you just like men.
As for Anjiu...
She was beautiful, but with so many beauties in the palace, she looked ordinary.
Concubine Shu didn't take it seriously at all.
In this way, An Jiu peeled one and the emperor ate one.
By the time the song finally ended, the emperor was almost full.
"I've heard that Sister Qin dances very well, but I didn't expect her to be so good." Concubine Shu glanced at the emperor and smiled flamboyantly.
She glanced at An Jiu and then set her eyes on the young eunuch beside the emperor.
Although he is half a man, he is still a man.
Xiao Fuzi was distracted when he noticed someone was looking at him. When he looked up, he met Concubine Shu's meaningful eyes. Xiao Fuzi was startled and lowered his head quickly.
But in Shufei's eyes, his panicked look showed that he was guilty.
What are you feeling guilty about? ??
Concubine Shu narrowed her eyes and glanced at Lady Qin, whose face was covered with a veil.
It seems that all this effort has been in vain.
And An Jiuxiao finally remembered who the dancing beauty was.
Lady Qin...
Is 놊 the one who danced for the emperor in the imperial garden and was almost hacked to death by the emperor?
She suddenly paused in peeling the shrimp.
At that time, Lady Qin drank rose perfume...
She looked down and saw that Concubine Qin had finished dancing and was kneeling on the ground waiting for the emperor to speak.
When the emperor saw An Jiu move, he went to see Lady Qin.
Everyone was secretly paying attention to the emperor's every word and action, and they thought that Concubine Qin had caught the emperor's eye with her dance.
An Jiu tugged at the emperor's sleeve, lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, this is Lady Qin... Lady Qin with Rose Fragrance..."
The emperor paused, then understood instantly. Without showing any sign of regret, he praised her a few words and ordered someone to reward Concubine Qin.
Afterwards, several concubines performed their art. The emperor lowered his head and found two greasy finger marks on his dragon robe.
emperor"……"
An Jiu: "..."
She laughed dryly: "Your Majesty, do you want to eat more?"
The emperor exhaled and said, "I ate it."
An Jiu stood up and looked at the other dishes on the table. They all looked good, so she picked up some for the emperor as well.
The emperor ate them all.
Afterwards, the concubines relaxed a little, and someone toasted the emperor. Although the emperor was a dog, he at least had some manners, so he drank a few cups. An Jiu saw that he frowned, so he quickly poured him a cup of hot tea.
The emperor took a sip and looked at the beauties below. He knew only a few of them, but all of them belonged to him.
The emperor expressed his feelings.
It seems absurd, but why is it absurd, because his ancestors all went through this. They regarded this as a benefit brought by power, but the emperor found it annoying.
[Boring!] Really boring. 】
[It's like staying in Guanghua Palace. 】
At this time, the last dish was ready, which was Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, served in exquisite tableware.
The maid placed the dish on the table in front of the emperor and opened the lid. In an instant, a rich, mellow, mouth-watering aroma filled the air. Even An Jiu, who was standing aside, felt his taste buds stirring just by looking at this delicacy, and he really wanted to have a bite.
But at this moment, the palace maid who was about to serve the emperor food suddenly slipped and dropped something in her hand to the ground.
Bang...
A crisp sound echoed throughout the hall, and a rose scent wafted out.
An Jiu realized something and immediately went to see the emperor. As expected, he lowered his head and stared at the broken bottle on the ground...
